THE HORROR CREATORS NO GENAI PLEDGE
GenAI is a service trained on mass copyright infringement and outright theft of millions of works owned and created by human artists, writers, filmmakers, musicians, actors, content creators, and so many more. It is not a tool of creation - it is a paid service built on the backs of human labor for the benefit of the obscenely wealthy and powerful.
Their explicit intent is to push humans out of the artistic process in order to continue accumulating, hoarding, and concentrating wealth into the pockets of those whose pockets are already overstuffed. CEOs who once bragged about being job creators now flex over being the one to kill the most jobs. For real human artists, art is not only a livelihood - it means examining our shared humanity, a way to be introspective about ourselves and others, a way to build community.
GenAI seeks to isolate and destroy communities by harming the environment and making it impossible for people in the creative arts to make a living. We are a collective of horror creators - artists, filmmakers, writers, musicians, actors, podcasters, editors, content creators, fans - dedicated to fostering the human spirit through horror art and pledging here to never use Generative AI in our artistic creations.

I publish articles written by HUMAN writers on horror topics! Most articles are written by myself, my family, or my friends; however, I happily accept guest posts from fellow humans who love horror and want to share their thoughts. Our banner/logos were lovingly illustrated by my friend Heather Landry and all of the additional artwork on our site is created by myself (either drawn/painted/stop-motion animated or by creating collages of film stills or non-AI stock photography using GIMP). I've never knowingly published anything created by AI and never intend to! :) |
